I tried to go get (the puck), and it jumped over my stick, and I couldn’t play it where it landed.

This is the time you are going to see the Czechs, the U.S. and everybody step it up.

All of a sudden, we had a hockey game and still 30-to-35 minutes to play. I didn’t have much to do early.

I think I’ve played well the last two games. I didn’t have the start I wanted with Montreal, but sometimes that happens and you have to concentrate on what’s in front rather than looking back.

We played pretty hard. We had a little trouble the first 50 minutes. We didn’t really play our game, but in the end it was a [win] for us.

There are going to be days like this and periods like the first.

Usually, you should win those games. Somehow, right now, we’re a little short. Unfortunately, we lost again. I don’t know if it’s weird. I think we just have to play a little bit better and...

Unfortunately, we didn’t play as good as we did the previous two games, but we were able to get the point that allows us to go into the quarter-finals.

I have more confidence and more fun playing the game right now than I had before the season.

There’s a lot of confidence in the whole team and we never know who we’re going to play in the playoffs.

It would be good to be 6-1 (against Minnesota). It’s a hard-working team over there, and they did what they had to do.

(Weaver) rimmed it and I tried to go get it. It jumped over my stick and I couldn’t play it where it landed. I had to go back in my net and there was a...

I just got back from the Olympics. I forgot I can’t play the puck outside an area over here.

I’d like to play. It’s Martin’s turn against Canada, but it’s a coaches’ decision.

I’ve been waiting to play now for a couple of weeks. I’m anxious to play again and anxious to compete and work myself out of it.

It’s good for us to play the way we played in the second and third period, I mean, we can beat anybody.
